Illustrator CS3: place a linked file.

• ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CC (PROBLEM OF LINKED FILES)

  I need help... I've recently updated and now when I drag my library, it places a linked file instead of vector format, I know that I can integrate or other but then I have to remove the clipping mask... The vectors that were in there are things I use constantly at work and must be easily editable. Is it possible to disable related files & just go back to how it was before? It's really mess up my workflow. I can simply go back to constantly used vectors in an illustrator file & just stop using the cloud all together.

  
  

  Thanks in advanced for any help.
  

  ALT, drag to place a copy.

• Illustrator could not find the linked file

  When I open an Illustrator file that uses linked pictures, I get a warning that it could not find the linked files and asking me to fix all the links one by one! Linked images are sitting in the same folder as the Illustrator file that uses. HAVE this problem only occurs when I need to open the file on another computer (PC or Mac) and I guess that's because Illustrator uses an absolute path to the loading of the images related rather than a relative path based on the location of the file.

  Everyone knows the same problem? All solutions?

  Software: Adobe Illustrator CS3

  Hardware: Windows XP PC and Mac OSX

  Thank you

  Are all the files in the same folder and they create and save this

  document with all in the same folder. If they created the

  the document with files in other places and then moved the files to the

  good record, it will not work.

• Illustrator CS3 crashes when changing places during save or place. Mac, Yosemite

  After the update to Yosemite and fixing the original problem of not being able to open Illustrator (older Java installation). Now Illustrator crashes whenever I try to select a location to save the file. If I save without changing the location of the file is not a problem. Also, it crashes when I want to PLACE a file and I try to navigate to the location.

  MacBook Pro (2012), OSX 10.10.2 (Yosemite).

  Adobe Illustrator CS3 (Yes, I know).

  Change fonts doesn't seem to be a problem. Large files are OK. It is only when you navigate to a location using a drop-down menu in the SAVE AS or PLACE dialog box.

  Any ideas of what might be wrong?

  New information: I changed the format of the adobe dialog box and it solved my problem. I'm leaving HERE in the case that everyone is facing it. However, I wouldn't mind know why it will not work the OS dialog box.

• How to 'Place in the linked file' (not 'import') a multipage PDF file on a single work plan?

  ILLUSTRATOR CS4

  Hello

  I often use import it the Carlos Santo multiPDF script and it works fine.

  But I sometimes customers multipage PDF files with text and the fonts are embedded so rarely.

  As you may know, the solution for this font "vectorized" even if you don't have it in your font collection is to place your pdf as a linked file (menu file-> Place with the "link" box checked) in an open document (or drag and drop the it) and then via the object Menu-> flatten transparency , I check the "Embed text" did.

  So to automate it with a multipage PDF and inspired by the script of Carlos, I tried this:

  /////////////////////////////////////////////////

  var doc = app.activeDocument;

  app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;

  var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;

  firstPage var = 1;

  var lastPage = 10;

  pdfFile = File.openDialog ("open multiple PDF pages", "*.pdf", false);

  for (i = firstPage; i < lastPage; i ++)

  {

  pdfOptions.pageToOpen = i;

  var thisPlacedItem = doc.placedItems.add ();

  thisPlacedItem.file = pdfFile;

  };

  /////////////////////////////////////////////////

  It does not work! I find myself with 10 placedItems the number of page 1 of the pdf file. Maybe the pageToOpen option only works when I use the Open method? Actually no, because if I run the application only the 2 following lines and then I drag and drop the pdf file, the specified page (page 8 of the example) is well placed.

  //////////////////

  var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;

  pdfOptions.pageToOpen = 8;

  /////////////////

  I don't know how to fix. I have 2 solutions, but it only makes "semi automatic":

  -Create a dialog box palette with a button that increases successively the pageToOpen option and then make drag and drop my file once for all pages (easy)

  -Without the palette and the button, but with a listener of events with a function that increases the value of pageToOpen whenever I have do drag and drop a new file (perhaps by listening to the evolution of document.placedItems.length), but is it possible?

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  I find myself with 10 placedItems the number of page 1 of the pdf file. Maybe the pageToOpenoption doesn't work when I use the Open method?

  I had the same problem, my first option was to place the pdf pages, I couldn't make it work I therefore had no choice but to open the file instead.

  go with your first option, besides you drag Actions may place the right page, based on the property of pageToOpen ... so there is hope, record an Action to place your pdf and...

  1. run your script to increase the property of pageToOpen

  2. play your action

  3. Repeat this process for each page

  actions can also run scripts, then you can do it too.

  If you had CS6, it would be easier, CS6 can play shares with Javascript

• Illustrator crashes when you save files .ai with images linked or embedded

  Hello

  Currently, I have a huge problem with Adobe Illustrator. When I place an image file in an Illustrator document, the program hangs for about 45 seconds during recording. At first I though it was just because my image file was too big, but this was not the case.

  To test what's going on I created a new document, has drawn a few lines and saved. No problem, Illustrator recorded immediately. Then I placed an image larger and suddenly hang Illustrator when recording. I repeated with a very small GIF of a few KB and again, hang Illustrator for nearly a minute when saving the image. I tried to embed the image instead of linking to it, but I still have the same results.

  Then I turned of the visibility of the object image by clicking the eye symbol bit in front of the image object and suddenly Illustrator could save quickly again. The next thing I wanted to try was closed compression and PDF compatibility, but then I noticed that Illustrator is actually suspended before writing the file to disk. When I hit "save under" Illustrator was asked where to save the new file, and then after clicking on 'Save', it blocks (showing "(ne répond pas) ' in the title bar"). About 45 seconds later the save dialogue options came and when I clicked 'OK' he recorded the file immediately.

  Does anyone know what could be the problem? I use Illustrator CS5 on Windows 7 x 64. The computer is a laptop with 8 GB of RAM and a switchable graphics card. I have tried this on both the Intel graphics integrated unit, as well as on the much more powerful AMD Chip. The hard driver that I record is the local hard drive (no network etc.).

  It is a facility more or less fresh (I've not used before Illustrator on this notebook) and I don't remember that I had the same problem on my desktop where I used it inside a virtual machine (which no longer exists).

  Strange events of the strangest things.

  I have created a completely new profile on my machine and all of a sudden it worked although I copied the profile Adobe everything on the new profile of the user (except the AppData\Local files). I don't know what the problem was, but now it's obviously set.

• Illustrator CC 2015 (just load) + Frame11 - linked file 'is in an unknown format and cannot be opened.

  I have a frame of the file which worked fine before CC today updated to 2015 of Illustrator.

  I use FrameMaker 11.

  My .doc file includes a linked object (.ai file, created using Illustrator CC 2014).

  My (Windows) file associations have files .ai configurΘ for dΘmarrer with Illustrator CC 2014.

  In Windows Explorer, I copied the .ai file linked to a different name (make a Variant).

  Then in frame, tried to insert the object by browsing to it and then choosing 'link '.

  After a break for awhile, an Adobe Illustrator dialog box appeared:
  "The file 'foobar.ai' is in an unknown format and cannot be opened."

  Clicked OK, then began and the CC2015 file.

  Resaved the file CC2015, tried, same question.

  Tried to insert the * original * file (which is already inserted in another point in the doc), same problem.

  In the framework, if I double-click on the * original * linked object, it starts CC * 2014 * and opens the file.

  Then... nutshell version:

  Since Illustrator CC 2015 loaded this morning, I can't introduce any .ai objects in my FrameMaker docs (including the objects currently inserted elsewhere in the doc). I can even * open * objects that are currently linked in the file (they open with CC2014).

  Is there something I need to do, or do I just uninstall Illustrator 2015 for now?

  jaggedpeak,

  You can try changing the file associated with the CC 2015; You can always reset.

  There are some strange things going on, and some have decided to go back to CC, 2014.

  I hope someone at our friends at Adobe staff there see you soon.

  Someone?

• Illustrator CS3 is what I use.  I can't select only the work of export in JPG or PNG format.  When I do, it exports the entire workspace.  I want just the artwork in a jpg file.  What are the instruction sets to convert only the number of art work

  Can someone tell me how to export my object of works of art in a PNG or JPG?  I get the whole workspace saves when I export.    I want to export a label to another program to print and the entire workspace is in the JPG, including not only art, I want to, but something else that is located on the workspace.       How can I simply isolate the object I want to export and convert? Newsgroup_User

  Randy,

  You can create a rectangle the size of the work and the object > crop area > make, then save for Web.

  Or you can use the crop box tool, see the documentation or here.

• Can not activate Illustrator CS3

  I tried to address this issue through the Adobe support chat service, but they sent me here. I posted on this subject on 1 November (see Re: attempts to activate Illustrator CS3 are unsuccessful, following the instructions in the installation instructions app, phone's instructions and website.)

  Here's a review of my problem: I have a stand-alone Illustrator CS3, not all of the CS3 package. The installation disk installs successfully, I entered the serial number on the disc, and it seems to be accepted (a large green check mark), and I can launch the application.

  But the means provided to activate the license failed. Online activation reached a site does not work. The activation of the phone it responds with a message to go to adobe.com/go/activations in this place, there is no discussion nor the link to one of how to activate the components other than activation CS3 online.

• Impossible to update to Illustrator CS3

  Adobe Updater tells me that my software needs an update so I have conscientiously let it download what he wants. It starts the installation and then crashes. He gets 80 to 90 percent by installing the update for Illustrator (13.0.1) and everything is there. I let it run all night and it was just where I left the previous night. I can quit the installer to update without having to force it to quit. Tried to launch Illustrator and it wouldn't start. Gets the display open and closes unexpectedly. I have to re - install Illustrator. This is the 3rd or 4th time I tried to update. Same result. Any suggestions? Help on an iMac G5 2.1 Ghz, 2.5 GB of RAM, running Leopard (OS 10.5.8).

  Your patch seems to be failing because the owner of the file to the following location is not prepared properly.

  / Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS3/Adobe Illustrator.app/Contents/Resources/AMT/application.sif

  (ctrl + click on Adobe Illustrator.app and choose display the contents of the Package to view the files inside the app)

  Correct the owner/group should solve this problem, or simply rename that file to something else to say xapplication.sif, then manually run the update.

  You can download the 13.0.1 Illustrator update from the following link-

  Let me know if it solves your problem.

• All my files turned .link files and I can't download anything including .zip it's impossible to read .exe files

  I have no internet connection on the laptop (windows xp) after I got this virus any. All my files turned .link files and I can't even open the help and support. When I open the Control Panel, it opens but the icons will lead me not to anywhere. I tried to type in the "Run" dialog box, but it will load and then stop, leading me to nowhere. Evrything is transformed into files .link except internet Explorer, my computer, my documents, the trash and another that I forgot, but even if I open internet, it is useless, since I lost the internet connection. I can't open anything to restore my internet connection. I tried restoring the system also, but it's been so long that it would not return to where it was fine. Also I tried to restore to when it was still very well, but it does nothing. I even tried the safe mode and it is still the same. I tried to format the Local drive, but it tells me to close something that may have been watch the computer or soemthing like that. I formatted the back towards the top but not the local drive. I found the windows xp CD but when the window opens to reinstall, and then when I click on reinstalling windows xp, it won't be going anywhere. The other links will lead to a place, but reinstalling windows won't open. I tried to use the system startup and you press on enter when he went to the Conference of the disarmament/something something and it still does nothing. It will say like taking files from CD or something, but it leads to nothing. I really want to just my laptop to remove everything so I can reinstall windows.

  See if this allows you to format and reinstall XP...
